Can I change the border colour of a picturebox

Good day all

I need to find a way of changing the bordercolour of a picturebox to another colour other than black.
Is that possible??

PS. Note the spelling of colour!!!
heehee

You can change the ForeColor and BackColor, but there is no BorderColor property.

A workaround might be to put your Picture box in a Label, and size the Label so that it hugs the outline of the Picture box. Then by chaning the Label's forecolor you should be able to simulate a Picturebox's BorderColor.

Sorry did not see that, but if you make the picturebox "Flat" it looks like its got a border. Would you beable to change that?.

By change that I assume you mean the color. Nope. We are back to the same old BackColor ForeColor only choice which affects the entire control.

Unfortunately, you cannot change the BorderColor. As a work around, change the BorderStyle to flat, and draw your own border.

This code should get you starting on drawing the outside border. I used black as the colour, but you can change it to whatever you want.

You'll also need to draw the inside border as well.

VB Code:

Private Sub Picture1_Paint()
    
    Dim x1 As Integer
    Dim y1 As Integer
    x1 = Screen.TwipsPerPixelX
    y1 = Screen.TwipsPerPixelY
    
    Picture1.Line (0, 0)-(Picture1.ScaleWidth, 0), vbBlack
    Picture1.Line (0, 0)-(0, Picture1.ScaleHeight), vbBlack
    Picture1.Line (Picture1.ScaleWidth - x1, 0)-(Picture1.ScaleWidth - x1, Picture1.ScaleHeight), vbBlack
    Picture1.Line (0, Picture1.ScaleHeight - y1)-(Picture1.ScaleWidth, Picture1.ScaleHeight - y1), vbBlack
 
End Sub
